Im pretty sure I have them on the right sides, but I will double check.

Was just thinking though I have mounted them parallel to the ground on top.

Could there possibly be a air bubble?

Maybe i could vacuum bleed them?

I got those clearnces of a random site on the net so.. yeah they could be dodgy, would be wonderful if they could be confirmed.

I mesured with a micrometer and telescope gauge, found the micrometer fine for crank, but using the gauge on the caps was a B@%CH.
